While in Iceland he suffers a life threatening event that does not allow him to leave the country any time soon.

Interview

What was main inspiration for writing novel?

Seeing some friends have to deal with this unimageable grief and how they dealt. At same time years ago seeing a legendary actor who was near the end of his life and say he never went a day without the grief for the decades ago it happened.

Wasn't writing the novel a bit risky as being uncomfortable that not only those who experienced but many others.

Yes we knew it would be uncomfortable to many potential readers but we knew we wanted it to be at the same time a inspirational read which pertains to the self renewal aspect of the story,

Isn't co writing difficult under even the best of circumstances?

It can be as i have experienced in the films i have written, but with Jennifer actually losing a older sister she was very close to when being in her teens and seeing the effect on her parents and 8 siblings what better of a co writer to work with. I liked Jennifer poetry and as mostly a film writer know that a novel needs to be more descriptive than what i use to with movies that should not be do descriptive. This was first novel she ever worked on though did write a few short stories before.

What in the end is the best part of doing such a novel?

That's actually is easy question to answer. A review from a reader who says reading it truly affected them in some way which will stay with them somehow in their lives.

Why was most of the story based in Iceland.

We agreed because we wanted to make it also in way a story that can be seen as a beautiful story it would be nice to tell it in what many consider one of the most beautiful settings. That was also what influenced us to do the many color full page illustrations throughout the book and causes readers to feel like they went on a trip to Iceland which is also felt in our special book video which we filmed ourselves in Iceland

Do you consider the impressive good reception of the novel by the Christian audience surprising?

With some of the story how Daniel the protagonist who lost his strong spiritual past he had before the loss of his son and questions everything upon that loss and revisits that doubt made us not so confident in that audience. We couldn't of been more excited with seeing such a strong liking of the novel by those readers.
